The Highway Division is ODOT's most visible arm, spread across Oregon with engineers, road crews and a wide array of other disciplines involved in the maintenance of the state's highways, bridges and other parts of the transportation system.

When the speed change law was passed by the 2015 Oregon Legislature, we had just two months before the end of the construction season to re-evaluate all the passing zones on the 1,500 miles of affected highway in central and eastern Oregon. By collaborating across discipline within our organization, we were able to implement the speed change in a very efficient manner, saving time and money.
